Bio

Ola Bakare is a Nigerian interior designer best known as one of the housemates on the seventh season of the reality competition television series Big Brother Africa, in 2012.

His partner in the house was his friend Chris Asekomeh.

Big Brother Africa Profile

Lagos resident and interior designer Ola Bakare is an impressive 6'9" tall. A University graduate with a degree in Mass Communication, he enjoys Sidney Sheldon novels, TV shows like Tinsel, Border Security and Ultimate Survival and music by 2Face, Wizkid, and PSquare.

His favourite movies include Ray, Safe House, Grease and The Sound of Music and his favourite actor is Jamie Foxx.

Ola's favourite place in Nigeria is Lagos because it is a fast-growing city. His favourite thing about Africa is that the land has been blessed a great deal, while he also enjoys the people and culture.

He loves the ocean, so his favourite place outside of Nigeria is Cyprus. He lists his mother as his role model, because she is supportive, prayerful and patient.

He says his Dad influenced his life the most because "he always worked hard for me and wants the best for me – he loves me unconditionally".

He was inspired to enter Big Brother StarGame with his friend Christian because he thinks he has what it takes to participate and also to learn about other cultures. Ola describes himself as smart, funny, creative, fun-loving and sweet and thinks he's fun to be around and can hold a healthy conversation.

He likes people who are open to ideas, but dislikes people who are not real. He says that viewers can expect jokes, interaction and drama from him on Big Brother StarGame.

If he wins, he will give a percentage of his money to each participating Housemate and try to help them raise money for their respective countries – then start his own food show on TV.

He sees his participation in the show as a platform for him to be accepted easily in whatever he chooses to do in life, going forward.
